Vegetable Potstickers

By -


These were great. We couldn’t find the round potsticker wrappers, so we used won ton wrappers instead. I got a recipe from damndelicious.net and then I altered it a bit.
Vegetable Potstickers
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
  • 1 cup diced shiitake mushrooms I used baby bella mushrooms
  • 2 shallots, minced I used green onions instead, 1 bunch
  • 3 cups shredded green cabbage
  • 2 carrots, peeled and grated
  • 1/2 cup diced water chestnuts I left this out
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced I did about 5 plus 1/4 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger I was generous with this
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce I did an extra Tbs.
  • 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 32 (3-inch) round wonton wrappers

So, essentially I shredded the cabbage (Squeeze water down after you shred it) and carrots in the food processor, and then chopped the mushrooms and green onions small. I sauteed this down with some salt for about 5 minutes to get the moisture out, then added the spices.  Then, you add the egg and cilantro. You put about 1 Tbs on the wrapper, wet your finger and trace around the edges, seal them together. Then, you put a few Tbs of oil in a pan and heat on high until it is shiimmering. Reduce the heat to medium, add the potstickers, and cook 2-3 minutes. Then, add 1/2 cup water (we used a really big pan), cover it immediately, and cook for 3-5 minutes.

    Ok, so essentially you shred the cabbage and carrots with the food processor grater. Then, you suite things and towards the end add the seasonings and the liquids so they can evaporate off. When you cook them, in the pan we use (it's not our biggest one, but it fits about 5), we use 1/4 cup water and then turn the heat down to low for about 3 minutes while it steams off and then they don't stick.

    You need a bit of oil each time you fry a batch

Sourdough, version 4, aka version Mel

By -
Image
This is my personal favorite.—it is a combination of the sourdough recipe from Nancy Beykirch with the Tartine method. It is sour but the texture is also great. Leaven: 1/2 cup sourdough starter 1/2 cup water 2/3 cups bread flour Combine ingredients and let sit 12 hours. Then, combine the leaven (mine was about 290 grams) 860 grams white flour 100 grams wheat flour 700 grams water 22 grams salt You mix this then let it sit for 40 minutes. Then, you put it in a big bowl and let it rise for 5 hours. For the first 2-3 hours, turn in every 30 minutes where you pull the dough to the opposite side, rotate the bowl by 4ths, do the same thing. Then, you put it on a floured surface. This dough is sticky, so you might need a good deal of flour. divide and shape into 2 loaves, then let sit 30 minutes. Then, kind of reshape them and put them in a pot. Let them rise for 3 hours. Then, score them. Bake at 425 for 20 minutes, then lid off the dutch oven for the final 20 minutes.

Grandma Goodsell's Whole Wheat Bread

  So, my Grandma Goodsell is the one who instilled a love of bread making in me. I owe a lot to her guidance when I was a kid. We finally tracked down her recipe after we thought it was lost all those years ago, and I made it yesterday. I give it a 9, but that’s probably a lot of nostalgia. Either way, it is a very, very solid bread recipe. I put my changes below in bold. Grandma Goodsell's Whole Wheat Bread Mix 2 ½ T yeast and 1 T sugar in 1 C water, and let set for 10 minutes. I used instant yeast, so I decreased this to 5 tsp. of yeast 3 C milk 2 C water ½ C honey ½ C shortening 2 T salt 2 T molasses 5 ½ C whole wheat flour 7 ½ C white flour I also added 2 heaping spoonfuls of wheat gluten Combine milk, honey, shortening, salt, and molasses in a saucepan and heat until shortening melts. Stir in 2 Cups cold water and combine with yeast mixture. Pour mixture into mixing bowl and add flours one cup at a time alternating between white and wheat (1 C white, 1 C wheat, 1 C white, ...

Instant Pot Spaghetti and Meatballs

Oh, how I love me a pressure cooker that cuts down on dishes and produces the exact same results. This is good because it's pasta and meatballs. I would have to really be coerced to make it any other way again because this is just SO easy. My one complaint is that it was very rich in tomato flavor because it calls for twice as much sauce as when I make it the traditional way. I think I might increase the water and use less sauce next time. Instant Pot Spaghetti and Meatballs 1 pound lean ground beef or ground turkey I just did my own meatballs already premade 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (or 2 cloves garlic, finely minced) I just did my own meatballs already premade Salt and pepper 16 ounces uncooked spaghetti noodles (see note) I think our spaghetti is almost 18 oz 1 teaspoon dried basil I used fresh 40 ounces jarred spaghetti/marinara sauce (see note) I did 2 Trader Joe's vodka sauces that are 25 oz. each 3 1/2 cups water Freshly grated Parmesan and ...
